I live in Reno, Nevada. Having grown up in a German Lutheran American tradition
in the heart of the United States, I have no known connection with your church
or its historical roots, and yet your pastor's words and some of the ancient
founding Celtic concepts of your version of Christian faith have spoken to my
heart and touched my soul. Thank you for this beautiful website.

This is a message for all those with Hutchison connections.. I have a letter
from my G-G-G-Grandfather dated 1914 in which he mentions being Christened in
St Cuthbert's. His name was William Murray Hutchison. His parents were James
Horsbrugh Hutchins(on) and Euphemia Skinner, and he had a brother by the name
of Salvo. If this rings any bells please get in touch as I just can't get to St
Cuthbert's anytime soon!! Regards - James

Hello - My GT/Gt/Grandparents weremarried in your church in 1827 - Francis
Borrowscale / Hannah Hardy Although there were of Cumberland and Hannah was of
Northumberland - they married in Scotland. I wonder what the connection was -
was it through the Hardy name. - Was there a connection with the Hardy name. It
really looks a lovely church inside and outside. Joan Borrowscale, Liverpool

A most interesting web site which I am happy to say I found by accident. I
visited Edinburgh in 1996 & had to see St. Cuthbert's as there is some
family history here. The rest of this message is for Dr. James Lawrence
Hutchison who left an entry 18 Dec 1004. I am a distant relative of your GGGF's
first wife, Janet Fletcher. For many years now I have been researching my
family history. In 2000 I visited your GGGF's grave in Carillon. Today I just
found Dr. J.A. Hutchison & family on the 1901 Canadian census. Would like
to make contact to compare notes. Joan McGiveron

I visited your beautiful city in April, and got a glimpse of your church from

some day I'll return and make it a point to visit St. Cuthbert's.

Neville Brown - I too have gt gt gt grandparents - Hutchison - George Hutchison
married Charlotte Peddie on 13th June 1825 at St Cuthberts Church, Edinburgh. I
suspect there are various families of Hutchison unrelated in Edinburgh - I am
now going to look at the site of St Cuthberts Church as I never knew my
ancestors were Scottish and I am absolutely thrilled. Thanks for the
opportunity to leave messages what a very kind gesture. I immediately felt at
home when I visited Edinburgh years ago. Regards Gloria.

I read a message from Neville Brown of New Zealand who said he had Hutchison
relatives who were married at St. Cuthberts. My Grandmother's name was Brown
and her family were close to the Hutchison family. I wonder if we are related.
I have a few Hutchison dates of birth and names back to 1789.

1881 census says he lived at 4 Pentland Tce Edinburgh St Cuthberts Scotland.

I was so happy to locate your web site! I have been reesarching my Scottish
roots, and generations of my family were born, married, & died in Edinburgh
& a GREAT many of them at St. Cuthbert's! It was wonderful to see the
pictures of the church. I have been to Edinburgh numerous times & somehow
managed to miss finding it. I shall ask the current set of cousins to go take
some pictures & send to me. I look forward to someday attending a service
in your beautiful church.

have been browsing through your site and think it is charming. I am from Canada
and would like to know if this site would be for the Church that my
great-great-great grandparents, Lauchlan John Dempster and Mary Cummings, were
married in. (1835) The record says they were married in the Parish Church of
St. Cuthberts, by the Reverend Doctor David Dickson. As I get further into my
research, I am setting out an itinerary that I would like very much, someday,
to follow through on during a trip to Scotland. Churches my grandparents were
married in would be of great interest to me. If this is the right one, it would
be on my list of places to visit. Sincerely Elizebeth Dempster. (Thorold ON

Have just discovered that although my maternal grandparents were both born in
New Zealand, they each had a set of grand parents married in St Cuthbert's:
Jemima Redpath to William Walker in 1849 and James Thompson to Johanna Black in
1853. I will be in Edinburgh in early May, and look forward to visiting St
Cuthbert's.

I attended St Cuthbert's Parish Church for many years while boarding at St
Denis School. In 1972 Dr Leonard Small confirmed me into the Church. When
planning our marriage in 1983 my greatest wish was to have Dr Small hold the
service for Mark and I in the War Memorial Chapel, one problem, he had retired
many years before... but for an old St Denis school girl anything was possible
in his book!! He married us on the 23 July and with his gift of words made it a
day that will always be very special... I felt very honoured to be able to
visit him not long before his death to introduce our son to him. Dr Small was
very much part of the Church for many years and though his preaching and love
of life and people I have drawn strength through my own life. It is many years
now since I was last in Edinburgh but it was lovely to look at the web site and
bring back memories of Sunday school, Dr Smalls wonderful sermons and of course
sucking polo mints under the school mistresses eyes!!

Cuthbert is such a rare name where I come from, I live in the state of Maine in
the US. It's always interesting to learn more and more about the name and it's
roots. Some day I hope to visit Scotland and dig up my roots. My mother and
father are elderly, and my mother Eleanor a devout catholic, raised 8 kids that
way, is terminally ill, but she is determined to make it there this spring.
Anyone with suggestions as to how to make her journey more comfortable, I would
love to hear it. God Bless. Liz

A fascinating web site & a church with a fascinating history. I found your
website because I found a family record that stated my Gt Gt Gt
Grandparents(Hutchison) were married in St Cuthberts Church, Edinburgh.
Searching for St Cuthberts, I came across your website & have spent the
last hour or so engrossed both in the beauty of your church and its history. I
am from New Zealand & I sincerely hope to visit one day when I visit
Scotland. Many thanks Neville

Well, I did vsit St.Cuthbert's again, this time with my wife, daughter and two
of my grand-children. They were very impressed, especially with the fact that
their ancestors were buried in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. At this time,
with permission of the authorities at Mortonhall Crematorium, and the knowledge
of the Minister of St.Cuthberts, we placed a small marker stone at the site of
the Maule burial ground. Since then, another of the Maule clan, from New
Zealand, has visited the site and was equally impressed. Nice visiting again.
